I learned some stuff this week...

Not real important stuff, but stuff all the same.

We have all heard the saying “you are never too old to learn.” How true it is. I learn new things all the time. The unfortunate part of all my learning is, I usually forget what I have learned soon after I learned it. Pretty much the reason I stink at math…and then add in the fact that I loathe numbers, well this makes me the opposite of a mathematician. I am a naicitamehtam.

I am going to start documenting the stuff I am learning. Adding it to my 'list', so to say….

I learned this week:

Betsy samples the grapes in the produce dept and her husband George acts like he does not know her. I find this to be very comical.

P1020297My kids are two of my favorite(est) people on this planet. I already knew this…but sometimes I just sit back and take them in with my eyes, ears and heart. Sometimes, I just want to nibble on their faces. Ok, really I want to gobble them up. But then people would call me a cannibal and all sorts of rumors would get started. I don’t need that extra stress in my life right now.

Ozzie may be the most well tempered dog I have ever seen in my life. I could put P102058329 drops of burning liquid in his eyes and shove a few horse size pills down his throat daily and all I tell him is: “It’s ok Boy, Mama is almost done and I will get you a cookie” and the little boy, just wags his nub and stands still for me.

Dogs wearing lampshades have neither peripheral vision or decent hearing. Like having a really old person follow you around all day banging his lampshade into your thighs.

I bruise easily. (see above)

FYI: You should never, under any circumstances put lampshades on old people!

I have learned that everyone who thinks they are great drivers, really aren’t. However, I am an excellent driver .

Did you learn anything new or exiting this week?

If you did, I am pretty sure you did not learn it reading my thoughts here…just a wild guess!

  4. Awe, poor Ozzie. Oh Suz, I learn a lot reading your thoughts...lol. I love how much you love your girls and how they are your favoritest people just like my kids are to me. How blessed we are!
    I have learned that there are way too many infomercials on during the night and that it's a good thing that I am not a spender because over the past weeks I have "almost" bought 3 different exercise video's...lol!

  5. What? Everyone that thinks they are a good driver isn't? I don't think I am that good! Especially since the accident last year. Now I am scared all the time. Sometimes I shake. I keep asking Gary to hire me a car to take me to the city when I have to work and then Gary laughs and says, the driver would earn more than you do. Oh well. I guess I will have to keep on driving!

    Your girls are fantastic! I am glad you love them so much. Please be careful with the nibbling.

  10. Suz, have I told you how much I LOVE the way you write. If I live in FLA, we'd certainly be coffee buddies.

    I wished I read this post yesterday. I wouldn't have put that lamp shade on old Mrs. Peterson who lives in the apartment downstairs... lol

    Sorry to hear you're not fond of math -- hs math teacher, here. If you ever need a helping hand or calculator (I don't add either), I available.

    Hugs, friend :) Sue

    i learned that tomatoes cannot stand alone, they need help.

  13. You'd be surprised at all I've learned from your posts. For example, a day without Busy Bee Suz is not nearly as much fun as a day with her.

  14. Gosh Darn---I had no idea I could teach you so much, Suz.... Here's another one to add to your list. One morning when we were in Kroger's, I wanted George to stand at our cart and watch my purse --while I looked for something at the other end of the isle. SO--I quickly and obviously loudly said, "STAY"..... A man was walking by, and he hollered out "HEEL".... I thought George was going to fall over laughing... I was embarrassed. BUT--everytime we passed that man in the store, he'd holler "HEEL" really loudly...

    Do I boss poor little George around????? I guess so! ha ha ha ....
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  15. I learned that my doctor would probably leave me on a treadmill until I dropped dead, but I jumped off just in time.

  16. What a cute post Suzanne. Speaking of bruising easily...when I was out in the middle of the night coaxing the kitten into the garage, I lost my balance and banged my nose on the door! Up at the bridge of my nose, it has turned every shade of green and purple. Nalley said if anyone asked to tell them he did it!!!

  17. You are too funny :) (I think I say that every time I comment!)

    I learned that I love the naughtiest kids in my class the most-they remind me of me! Not the mean ones, but the crazy-talking-hyper want to do EVERYTHING kids. The ones that kind of get annoying.. ya that was prob. me! Go ask my mom!!!!

  21. Dogs are just the most amazing creatures with the biggest hearts, aren't they?

    I loves them :-)

    This week I've learned that I can memorize a bread recipe by heart if it's THAT good, and that not all lemonade is created equal.
